Seems a million years ago and yet it seems like only yesterday at the same time. I will never forget the horror I felt as I watched those towers collapse on themselves with all those people inside.......worse feeling I have ever, ever had. I had to get out of the house that night and away from the television so I grabbed my rod and went fishing. I went to Hull which has a direct view of Logan airport and with all air traffic grounded and not one plane taking off or landing the air was strangely quiet. The fishing was more a distraction as I certainly could not focus on such a mundane task given the events of that day. My thoughts tomorrow will be for those lost and for those who lost.......I hope we never see the likes of a day like that again.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I was completly over whelmed and horified, I remember calling my mother into the room to see the first tower on fire and then we saw the second plane hit and just had an overwhelming sense of dread. The anger has not left me and never will. The sight of people who made the choice to jump to their death is almost beyond comprehension.

Just by chance I happened to walk into a room with TV's and saw the fire , then the second plane hit , then the collapse of both towers. It was hard to get the brain to realize it was real , not an action picture scene.

Such a tragedy to the people and their families.

Such an insult to the USA.
